Of course the arm E. the shape of the arm E may be varied; but I j F is a spring connected to thestandard prefer to make it square in cross-section, since roo 5o above the wire, and F is a cord or strap conthe plunger-block will then be kept in an upnected to this spring. The cord F passes right position and be enabled to slide freely,

So, also, my invention would contemplate a variation of the means for releasing the trigger, and the mere location of these parts is of course optional.

Of course, if desired, a basket or other reeeptaele may he suspended 'from the bed-plate, andthe detachable enp may or may not he attached thereto.

Ihat I claim is- I. In a Cash and parcel carrier, the combination, with the taut wire, the hanger havingr an arm extending at right angles from the same and provided with pulleys, and a cord or strap passing,` over said pulleys and Carryin g a plunger-bleek, of a ear adapted to travel r on said Wire and provided with a slotted eylinder, a oeil-spring,1 located in said cylinder and adapted to he compressed by the plungerbleek entering' the cylinder through the slot therein, means forholding the ear at the sial tion until the spring has been compressed, and means for releasing the ear after the springg` has been compressed, substantially as described.

2. In a cash and parcel carrier, the combination of the hanger A, having an arm E, provided with pulleys, the tant Wire B, a oar adapted to travel on said Wire and provided with a slotted cylinder D, having' a eoil-spring D', and slides D2 D3, located therein, the oord F', having plunger-bleek G and nnt F3 at taehed thereto, and the trigger II, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I sign this specification in the presence of two witnesses.

WILLIAM II. BILLING.
